Actress Lena Dunham angered social media users after making a request involving her casket and a pride parade.
On Sunday, Dunham tweeted, “When I go, I want my casket to be driven through the NYC pride parade with a plaque that reads ‘she wasn’t for everyone, but she *was* for us’- who can arrange?”
Dunham’s tweet sparked several reactions.
One user replied, “WOOF. Also it’s a march. If you did so much for the community, you’d know that.”
Another wrote, “I just saw this tweet on my timeline. Truly unhinged sh*t. Goodnight.”
One tweet reads, “No. Like there’s allyship and then there’s this. Like chill, it’s not a best ally competition.”

In 2014, Dunham received the Point Foundation’s Horizon Award for her LGBT advocacy work in New York.
During her acceptance speech, Dunham opened up about her sister who is a lesbian.
“It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I came of age and realized that I was sexually attracted to men,” Dunham said.
